.: Corvallis Gazette-Times - News - OSU President Recommits To Equality: "'How have we done since then?' Ray asked. 'Where have historical forces brought us today?'

He said evidence shows the record of integration is very mixed. At its highest point, 46 percent of African-American students attended integrated high schools. That was in 1974. Since then, Ray said, federal statistics show a backslide. Today, less than a third of African-American students attend racially integrated schools, the lowest level since 1968."
